Salzburg Day 2

Lots of jaunting around today with my friends from Germany. One of the interesting attractions is Hanger 7 near the airport. It is a large enclosure with the Red Bull collection of aircraft, ranging from a B-25 WWII vintage heavy bomber to an early Douglas passenger plane, to a Sukoi design and a couple of French jets--a few helicopters as well. There is also a collection of Formula One race cars. The backdrop is a magnificent view of the Alps.

One of the French jets

Also a contemporary art exhibition

And some exotic trees

Interesting place to visit. Admission was free and there is also free parking (the only free parking lot in Salzburg).


Judengasse, one of the oldest streets in Salzburg

Mozartplatz

In the center of Mozartplatz is his statue and next to it were playing a trio of buskers.


Student buskers

Austrians are very fond of sundaes and iced coffees and all sorts of treats

So that's a little tour of some tourist attractions.

Thanks, Maury. I'm used to lots of thunderstorms in Salzburg in August, but so far it has been sunny.
